Pull legacy dio update from Jens Axboe:
"We only have a few file systems that use the old dio code, make them
select it rather than build it unconditionally"
* tag 'for-6.3/dio-2023-02-16' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux:
fs: build the legacy direct I/O code conditionally

Pull vfs idmapping updates from Christian Brauner:
- Last cycle we introduced the dedicated struct mnt_idmap type for
mount idmapping and the required infrastucture in 256c8aed2b42 ("fs:
introduce dedicated idmap type for mounts"). As promised in last
cycle's pull request message this converts everything to rely on
struct mnt_idmap.
Currently we still pass around the plain namespace that was attached
to a mount. This is in general pretty convenient but it makes it easy
to conflate namespaces that are relevant on the filesystem with
namespaces that are relevant on the mount level. Especially for
non-vfs developers without detailed knowledge in this area this was a
potential source for bugs.
This finishes the conversion. Instead of passing the plain namespace
around this updates all places that currently take a pointer to a
mnt_userns with a pointer to struct mnt_idmap.
Now that the conversion is done all helpers down to the really
low-level helpers only accept a struct mnt_idmap argument instead of
two namespace arguments.
Conflating mount and other idmappings will now cause the compiler to
complain loudly thus eliminating the possibility of any bugs. This
makes it impossible for filesystem developers to mix up mount and
filesystem idmappings as they are two distinct types and require
distinct helpers that cannot be used interchangeably.
Everything associated with struct mnt_idmap is moved into a single
separate file. With that change no code can poke around in struct
mnt_idmap. It can only be interacted with through dedicated helpers.
That means all filesystems are and all of the vfs is completely
oblivious to the actual implementation of idmappings.
We are now also able to extend struct mnt_idmap as we see fit. For
example, we can decouple it completely from namespaces for users that
don't require or don't want to use them at all. We can also extend
the concept of idmappings so we can cover filesystem specific
requirements.
In combination with the vfs{g,u}id_t work we finished in v6.2 this
makes this feature substantially more robust and thus difficult to
implement wrong by a given filesystem and also protects the vfs.
- Enable idmapped mounts for tmpfs and fulfill a longstanding request.
A long-standing request from users had been to make it possible to
create idmapped mounts for tmpfs. For example, to share the host's
tmpfs mount between multiple sandboxes. This is a prerequisite for
some advanced Kubernetes cases. Systemd also has a range of use-cases
to increase service isolation. And there are more users of this.
However, with all of the other work going on this was way down on the
priority list but luckily someone other than ourselves picked this
up.
As usual the patch is tiny as all the infrastructure work had been
done multiple kernel releases ago. In addition to all the tests that
we already have I requested that Rodrigo add a dedicated tmpfs
testsuite for idmapped mounts to xfstests. It is to be included into
xfstests during the v6.3 development cycle. This should add a slew of
additional tests.

Add a new LEGACY_DIRECT_IO config symbol that is only selected by the
file systems that still use the legacy blockdev_direct_IO code, so that
kernels without support for those file systems don't need to build the
code.

As suggested by Cong, introduce a tracepoint for all ->sk_data_ready()
callback implementations. For example:
<...>
iperf-609 [002] ..... 70.660425: sk_data_ready: family=2 protocol=6 func=sock_def_readable
iperf-609 [002] ..... 70.660436: sk_data_ready: family=2 protocol=6 func=sock_def_readable

Convert to struct mnt_idmap.

filemap_fdatawrite_wbc is a fairly thing wrapper around do_writepages, and
the big difference there is support for cgroup writeback, which is not
supported by ocfs2, and the potential to use ->writepages instead of
->writepage, which ocfs2 does not currently implement but eventually
should.

The file locking definitions have lived in fs.h since the dawn of time,
but they are only used by a small subset of the source files that
include it.
Move the file locking definitions to a new header file, and add the
appropriate #include directives to the source files that need them. By
doing this we trim down fs.h a bit and limit the amount of rebuilding
that has to be done when we make changes to the file locking APIs.

Since moving to memalloc_nofs_save/restore, SUNRPC has stopped setting the
GFP_NOIO flag on sk_allocation which the networking system uses to decide
when it is safe to use current->task_frag. The results of this are
unexpected corruption in task_frag when SUNRPC is involved in memory
reclaim.
The corruption can be seen in crashes, but the root cause is often
difficult to ascertain as a crashing machine's stack trace will have no
evidence of being near NFS or SUNRPC code. I believe this problem to
be much more pervasive than reports to the community may indicate.
Fix this by having kernel users of sockets that may corrupt task_frag due
to reclaim set sk_use_task_frag = false. Preemptively correcting this
situation for users that still set sk_allocation allows them to convert to
memalloc_nofs_save/restore without the same unexpected corruptions that are
sure to follow, unlikely to show up in testing, and difficult to bisect.

Pull setgid inheritance updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work to make setgid inheritance consistent between
modifying a file and when changing ownership or mode as this has been
a repeated source of very subtle bugs. The gist is that we perform the
same permission checks in the write path as we do in the ownership and
mode changing paths after this series where we're currently doing
different things.
We've already made setgid inheritance a lot more consistent and
reliable in the last releases by moving setgid stripping from the
individual filesystems up into the vfs. This aims to make the logic
even more consistent and easier to understand and also to fix
long-standing overlayfs setgid inheritance bugs. Miklos was nice
enough to just let me carry the trivial overlayfs patches from Amir
too.
Below is a more detailed explanation how the current difference in
setgid handling lead to very subtle bugs exemplified via overlayfs
which is a victim of the current rules. I hope this explains why I
think taking the regression risk here is worth it.
A long while ago I found a few setgid inheritance bugs in overlayfs in
the write path in certain conditions. Amir recently picked this back
up in [1] and I jumped on board to fix this more generally.
On the surface all that overlayfs would need to fix setgid inheritance
would be to call file_remove_privs() or file_modified() but actually
that isn't enough because the setgid inheritance api is wildly
inconsistent in that area.
Before this pr setgid stripping in file_remove_privs()'s old
should_remove_suid() helper was inconsistent with other parts of the
vfs. Specifically, it only raises ATTR_KILL_SGID if the inode is
S_ISGID and S_IXGRP but not if the inode isn't in the caller's groups
and the caller isn't privileged over the inode although we require
this already in setattr_prepare() and setattr_copy() and so all
filesystem implement this requirement implicitly because they have to
use setattr_{prepare,copy}() anyway.
But the inconsistency shows up in setgid stripping bugs for overlayfs
in xfstests (e.g., generic/673, generic/683, generic/685, generic/686,
generic/687). For example, we test whether suid and setgid stripping
works correctly when performing various write-like operations as an
unprivileged user (fallocate, reflink, write, etc.):
echo "Test 1 - qa_user, non-exec file $verb"
setup_testfile
chmod a+rws $junk_file
commit_and_check "$qa_user" "$verb" 64k 64k
The test basically creates a file with 6666 permissions. While the
file has the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits set it does not have the S_IXGRP
set.
On a regular filesystem like xfs what will happen is:
sys_fallocate()
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> xfs_file_fallocate()
-> file_modified()
-> __file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
-> notify_change()
-> setattr_copy()
In should_remove_suid() we can see that ATTR_KILL_SUID is raised
unconditionally because the file in the test has S_ISUID set.
But we also see that ATTR_KILL_SGID won't be set because while the
file is S_ISGID it is not S_IXGRP (see above) which is a condition for
ATTR_KILL_SGID being raised.
So by the time we call notify_change() we have attr->ia_valid set to
ATTR_KILL_SUID | ATTR_FORCE.
Now notify_change() sees that ATTR_KILL_SUID is set and does:
ia_valid = attr->ia_valid |= ATTR_MODE
attr->ia_mode = (inode->i_mode & ~S_ISUID);
which means that when we call setattr_copy() later we will definitely
update inode->i_mode. Note that attr->ia_mode still contains S_ISGID.
Now we call into the filesystem's ->setattr() inode operation which
will end up calling setattr_copy(). Since ATTR_MODE is set we will
hit:
if (ia_valid & ATTR_MODE) {
umode_t mode = attr->ia_mode;
vfsgid_t vfsgid = i_gid_into_vfsgid(mnt_userns, inode);
if (!vfsgid_in_group_p(vfsgid) &&
!capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(mnt_userns, inode, CAP_FSETID))
mode &= ~S_ISGID;
inode->i_mode = mode;
}
and since the caller in the test is neither capable nor in the group
of the inode the S_ISGID bit is stripped.
But assume the file isn't suid then ATTR_KILL_SUID won't be raised
which has the consequence that neither the setgid nor the suid bits
are stripped even though it should be stripped because the inode isn't
in the caller's groups and the caller isn't privileged over the inode.
If overlayfs is in the mix things become a bit more complicated and
the bug shows up more clearly.
When e.g., ovl_setattr() is hit from ovl_fallocate()'s call to
file_remove_privs() then ATTR_KILL_SUID and ATTR_KILL_SGID might be
raised but because the check in notify_change() is questioning the
ATTR_KILL_SGID flag again by requiring S_IXGRP for it to be stripped
the S_ISGID bit isn't removed even though it should be stripped:
sys_fallocate()
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> ovl_fallocate()
-> file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
-> notify_change()
-> ovl_setattr()
/* TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS */
-> ovl_do_notify_change()
-> notify_change()
/* GIVE UP MOUNTER'S CREDS */
/* TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS */
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> xfs_file_fallocate()
-> file_modified()
-> __file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = attr_force | kill;
-> notify_change()
The fix for all of this is to make file_remove_privs()'s
should_remove_suid() helper perform the same checks as we already
require in setattr_prepare() and setattr_copy() and have
notify_change() not pointlessly requiring S_IXGRP again. It doesn't
make any sense in the first place because the caller must calculate
the flags via should_remove_suid() anyway which would raise
ATTR_KILL_SGID
Note that some xfstests will now fail as these patches will cause the
setgid bit to be lost in certain conditions for unprivileged users
modifying a setgid file when they would've been kept otherwise. I
think this risk is worth taking and I explained and mentioned this
multiple times on the list [2].
Enforcing the rules consistently across write operations and
chmod/chown will lead to losing the setgid bit in cases were it
might've been retained before.
While I've mentioned this a few times but it's worth repeating just to
make sure that this is understood. For the sake of maintainability,
consistency, and security this is a risk worth taking.
If we really see regressions for workloads the fix is to have special
setgid handling in the write path again with different semantics from
chmod/chown and possibly additional duct tape for overlayfs. I'll
update the relevant xfstests with if you should decide to merge this
second setgid cleanup.
Before that people should be aware that there might be failures for
fstests where unprivileged users modify a setgid file"

Pull VFS acl updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the work that builds a dedicated vfs posix acl api.
The origins of this work trace back to v5.19 but it took quite a while
to understand the various filesystem specific implementations in
sufficient detail and also come up with an acceptable solution.
As we discussed and seen multiple times the current state of how posix
acls are handled isn't nice and comes with a lot of problems: The
current way of handling posix acls via the generic xattr api is error
prone, hard to maintain, and type unsafe for the vfs until we call
into the filesystem's dedicated get and set inode operations.
It is already the case that posix acls are special-cased to death all
the way through the vfs. There are an uncounted number of hacks that
operate on the uapi posix acl struct instead of the dedicated vfs
struct posix_acl. And the vfs must be involved in order to interpret
and fixup posix acls before storing them to the backing store, caching
them, reporting them to userspace, or for permission checking.
Currently a range of hacks and duct tape exist to make this work. As
with most things this is really no ones fault it's just something that
happened over time. But the code is hard to understand and difficult
to maintain and one is constantly at risk of introducing bugs and
regressions when having to touch it.
Instead of continuing to hack posix acls through the xattr handlers
this series builds a dedicated posix acl api solely around the get and
set inode operations.
Going forward, the vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(), and vfs_set_acl()
helpers must be used in order to interact with posix acls. They
operate directly on the vfs internal struct posix_acl instead of
abusing the uapi posix acl struct as we currently do. In the end this
removes all of the hackiness, makes the codepaths easier to maintain,
and gets us type safety.
This series passes the LTP and xfstests suites without any
regressions. For xfstests the following combinations were tested:
- xfs
- ext4
- btrfs
- overlayfs
- overlayfs on top of idmapped mounts
- orangefs
- (limited) cifs
There's more simplifications for posix acls that we can make in the
future if the basic api has made it.
A few implementation details:
- The series makes sure to retain exactly the same security and
integrity module permission checks. Especially for the integrity
modules this api is a win because right now they convert the uapi
posix acl struct passed to them via a void pointer into the vfs
struct posix_acl format to perform permission checking on the mode.
There's a new dedicated security hook for setting posix acls which
passes the vfs struct posix_acl not a void pointer. Basing checking
on the posix acl stored in the uapi format is really unreliable.
The vfs currently hacks around directly in the uapi struct storing
values that frankly the security and integrity modules can't
correctly interpret as evidenced by bugs we reported and fixed in
this area. It's not necessarily even their fault it's just that the
format we provide to them is sub optimal.
- Some filesystems like 9p and cifs need access to the dentry in
order to get and set posix acls which is why they either only
partially or not even at all implement get and set inode
operations. For example, cifs allows setxattr() and getxattr()
operations but doesn't allow permission checking based on posix
acls because it can't implement a get acl inode operation.
Thus, this patch series updates the set acl inode operation to take
a dentry instead of an inode argument. However, for the get acl
inode operation we can't do this as the old get acl method is
called in e.g., generic_permission() and inode_permission(). These
helpers in turn are called in various filesystem's permission inode
operation. So passing a dentry argument to the old get acl inode
operation would amount to passing a dentry to the permission inode
operation which we shouldn't and probably can't do.
So instead of extending the existing inode operation Christoph
suggested to add a new one. He also requested to ensure that the
get and set acl inode operation taking a dentry are consistently
named. So for this version the old get acl operation is renamed to
->get_inode_acl() and a new ->get_acl() inode operation taking a
dentry is added. With this we can give both 9p and cifs get and set
acl inode operations and in turn remove their complex custom posix
xattr handlers.
In the future I hope to get rid of the inode method duplication but
it isn't like we have never had this situation. Readdir is just one
example. And frankly, the overall gain in type safety and the more
pleasant api wise are simply too big of a benefit to not accept
this duplication for a while.
- We've done a full audit of every codepaths using variant of the
current generic xattr api to get and set posix acls and
surprisingly it isn't that many places. There's of course always a
chance that we might have missed some and if so I'm sure we'll find
them soon enough.
The crucial codepaths to be converted are obviously stacking
filesystems such as ecryptfs and overlayfs.
For a list of all callers currently using generic xattr api helpers
see [2] including comments whether they support posix acls or not.
- The old vfs generic posix acl infrastructure doesn't obey the
create and replace semantics promised on the setxattr(2) manpage.
This patch series doesn't address this. It really is something we
should revisit later though.
The patches are roughly organized as follows:
(1) Change existing set acl inode operation to take a dentry
argument (Intended to be a non-functional change)
(2) Rename existing get acl method (Intended to be a non-functional
change)
(3) Implement get and set acl inode operations for filesystems that
couldn't implement one before because of the missing dentry.
That's mostly 9p and cifs (Intended to be a non-functional
change)
(4) Build posix acl api, i.e., add vfs_get_acl(), vfs_remove_acl(),
and vfs_set_acl() including security and integrity hooks
(Intended to be a non-functional change)
(5) Implement get and set acl inode operations for stacking
filesystems (Intended to be a non-functional change)
(6) Switch posix acl handling in stacking filesystems to new posix
acl api now that all filesystems it can stack upon support it.
(7) Switch vfs to new posix acl api (semantical change)
(8) Remove all now unused helpers
(9) Additional regression fixes reported after we merged this into
linux-next

When filesystem is using indexed-dirs feature, maximum link count values
can spill over to i_links_count_hi, up to OCFS2_DX_LINK_MAX links.
ocfs2_read_links_count() checks for OCFS2_INDEXED_DIR_FL flag in dinode,
but this flag is only valid for directories so for files the check causes
high part of the link count not being read back from file dinodes
resulting in wrong link count value when file has >65535 links.
As ocfs2_set_links_count() always writes both high and low parts of link
count, the flag check on reading may be removed.

This call stack is related to two problems. Firstly, the ocfs2 super uses
"replay_map" to trace online/offline slots, in order to recover offline
slots during recovery and mount. But when ocfs2_truncate_log_init()
returns an error in ocfs2_mount_volume(), the memory of "replay_map" will
not be freed in error handling path. Secondly, the memory of "replay_map"
will not be freed if d_make_root() returns an error in ocfs2_fill_super().
But the memory of "replay_map" will be freed normally when completing
recovery and mount in ocfs2_complete_mount_recovery().
Fix the first problem by adding error handling path to free "replay_map"
when ocfs2_truncate_log_init() fails. And fix the second problem by
calling ocfs2_free_replay_slots(osb) in the error handling path
"out_dismount". In addition, since ocfs2_free_replay_slots() is static,
it is necessary to remove its static attribute and declare it in header
file.

READ/WRITE proved to be actively confusing - the meanings are
"data destination, as used with read(2)" and "data source, as
used with write(2)", but people keep interpreting those as
"we read data from it" and "we write data to it", i.e. exactly
the wrong way.
Call them ITER_DEST and ITER_SOURCE - at least that is harder

In ocfs2_mknod(), if error occurs after dinode successfully allocated,
ocfs2 i_links_count will not be 0.
So even though we clear inode i_nlink before iput in error handling, it
still won't wipe inode since we'll refresh inode from dinode during inode
lock. So just like clear inode i_nlink, we clear ocfs2 i_links_count as
well. Also do the same change for ocfs2_symlink().

Commit b1529a41f777 "ocfs2: should reclaim the inode if
'__ocfs2_mknod_locked' returns an error" tried to reclaim the claimed
inode if __ocfs2_mknod_locked() fails later. But this introduce a race,
the freed bit may be reused immediately by another thread, which will
update dinode, e.g. i_generation. Then iput this inode will lead to BUG:
inode->i_generation != le32_to_cpu(fe->i_generation)
We could make this inode as bad, but we did want to do operations like
wipe in some cases. Since the claimed inode bit can only affect that an
dinode is missing and will return back after fsck, it seems not a big
problem. So just leave it as is by revert the reclaim logic.

The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic
xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to
interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to
userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to
understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of
making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are
building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode
operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths
easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1].
The current inode operation for getting posix acls takes an inode
argument but various filesystems (e.g., 9p, cifs, overlayfs) need access
to the dentry. In contrast to the ->set_acl() inode operation we cannot
simply extend ->get_acl() to take a dentry argument. The ->get_acl()
inode operation is called from:
acl_permission_check()
-> check_acl()
-> get_acl()
which is part of generic_permission() which in turn is part of
inode_permission(). Both generic_permission() and inode_permission() are
called in the ->permission() handler of various filesystems (e.g.,
overlayfs). So simply passing a dentry argument to ->get_acl() would
amount to also having to pass a dentry argument to ->permission(). We
should avoid this unnecessary change.
So instead of extending the existing inode operation rename it from
->get_acl() to ->get_inode_acl() and add a ->get_acl() method later that
passes a dentry argument and which filesystems that need access to the
dentry can implement instead of ->get_inode_acl(). Filesystems like cifs
which allow setting and getting posix acls but not using them for
permission checking during lookup can simply not implement
->get_inode_acl().
This is intended to be a non-functional change.

The current way of setting and getting posix acls through the generic
xattr interface is error prone and type unsafe. The vfs needs to
interpret and fixup posix acls before storing or reporting it to
userspace. Various hacks exist to make this work. The code is hard to
understand and difficult to maintain in it's current form. Instead of
making this work by hacking posix acls through xattr handlers we are
building a dedicated posix acl api around the get and set inode
operations. This removes a lot of hackiness and makes the codepaths
easier to maintain. A lot of background can be found in [1].
Since some filesystem rely on the dentry being available to them when
setting posix acls (e.g., 9p and cifs) they cannot rely on set acl inode
operation. But since ->set_acl() is required in order to use the generic
posix acl xattr handlers filesystems that do not implement this inode
operation cannot use the handler and need to implement their own
dedicated posix acl handlers.
Update the ->set_acl() inode method to take a dentry argument. This
allows all filesystems to rely on ->set_acl().
As far as I can tell all codepaths can be switched to rely on the dentry
instead of just the inode. Note that the original motivation for passing
the dentry separate from the inode instead of just the dentry in the
xattr handlers was because of security modules that call
security_d_instantiate(). This hook is called during
d_instantiate_new(), d_add(), __d_instantiate_anon(), and
d_splice_alias() to initialize the inode's security context and possibly
to set security.* xattrs. Since this only affects security.* xattrs this
is completely irrelevant for posix acls.

Currently setgid stripping in file_remove_privs()'s should_remove_suid()
helper is inconsistent with other parts of the vfs. Specifically, it only
raises ATTR_KILL_SGID if the inode is S_ISGID and S_IXGRP but not if the
inode isn't in the caller's groups and the caller isn't privileged over the
inode although we require this already in setattr_prepare() and
setattr_copy() and so all filesystem implement this requirement implicitly
because they have to use setattr_{prepare,copy}() anyway.
But the inconsistency shows up in setgid stripping bugs for overlayfs in
xfstests (e.g., generic/673, generic/683, generic/685, generic/686,
generic/687). For example, we test whether suid and setgid stripping works
correctly when performing various write-like operations as an unprivileged
user (fallocate, reflink, write, etc.):
echo "Test 1 - qa_user, non-exec file $verb"
setup_testfile
chmod a+rws $junk_file
commit_and_check "$qa_user" "$verb" 64k 64k
The test basically creates a file with 6666 permissions. While the file has
the S_ISUID and S_ISGID bits set it does not have the S_IXGRP set. On a
regular filesystem like xfs what will happen is:
sys_fallocate()
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> xfs_file_fallocate()
-> file_modified()
-> __file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
-> notify_change()
-> setattr_copy()
In should_remove_suid() we can see that ATTR_KILL_SUID is raised
unconditionally because the file in the test has S_ISUID set.
But we also see that ATTR_KILL_SGID won't be set because while the file
is S_ISGID it is not S_IXGRP (see above) which is a condition for
ATTR_KILL_SGID being raised.
So by the time we call notify_change() we have attr->ia_valid set to
ATTR_KILL_SUID | ATTR_FORCE. Now notify_change() sees that
ATTR_KILL_SUID is set and does:
ia_valid = attr->ia_valid |= ATTR_MODE
attr->ia_mode = (inode->i_mode & ~S_ISUID);
which means that when we call setattr_copy() later we will definitely
update inode->i_mode. Note that attr->ia_mode still contains S_ISGID.
Now we call into the filesystem's ->setattr() inode operation which will
end up calling setattr_copy(). Since ATTR_MODE is set we will hit:
if (ia_valid & ATTR_MODE) {
umode_t mode = attr->ia_mode;
vfsgid_t vfsgid = i_gid_into_vfsgid(mnt_userns, inode);
if (!vfsgid_in_group_p(vfsgid) &&
!capable_wrt_inode_uidgid(mnt_userns, inode, CAP_FSETID))
mode &= ~S_ISGID;
inode->i_mode = mode;
}
and since the caller in the test is neither capable nor in the group of the
inode the S_ISGID bit is stripped.
But assume the file isn't suid then ATTR_KILL_SUID won't be raised which
has the consequence that neither the setgid nor the suid bits are stripped
even though it should be stripped because the inode isn't in the caller's
groups and the caller isn't privileged over the inode.
If overlayfs is in the mix things become a bit more complicated and the bug
shows up more clearly. When e.g., ovl_setattr() is hit from
ovl_fallocate()'s call to file_remove_privs() then ATTR_KILL_SUID and
ATTR_KILL_SGID might be raised but because the check in notify_change() is
questioning the ATTR_KILL_SGID flag again by requiring S_IXGRP for it to be
stripped the S_ISGID bit isn't removed even though it should be stripped:
sys_fallocate()
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> ovl_fallocate()
-> file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = ATTR_FORCE | kill;
-> notify_change()
-> ovl_setattr()
// TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS
-> ovl_do_notify_change()
-> notify_change()
// GIVE UP MOUNTER'S CREDS
// TAKE ON MOUNTER'S CREDS
-> vfs_fallocate()
-> xfs_file_fallocate()
-> file_modified()
-> __file_remove_privs()
-> dentry_needs_remove_privs()
-> should_remove_suid()
-> __remove_privs()
newattrs.ia_valid = attr_force | kill;
-> notify_change()
The fix for all of this is to make file_remove_privs()'s
should_remove_suid() helper to perform the same checks as we already
require in setattr_prepare() and setattr_copy() and have notify_change()
not pointlessly requiring S_IXGRP again. It doesn't make any sense in the
first place because the caller must calculate the flags via
should_remove_suid() anyway which would raise ATTR_KILL_SGID.
While we're at it we move should_remove_suid() from inode.c to attr.c
where it belongs with the rest of the iattr helpers. Especially since it
returns ATTR_KILL_S{G,U}ID flags. We also rename it to
setattr_should_drop_suidgid() to better reflect that it indicates both
setuid and setgid bit removal and also that it returns attr flags.
Running xfstests with this doesn't report any regressions. We should really
try and use consistent checks.

Zero-length arrays are deprecated and we are moving towards adopting C99
flexible-array members, instead. So, replace zero-length array
declarations in a couple of structures and unions with the new
DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() helper macro.
This helper allows for a flexible-array member in a union and as only
member in a structure.
Also, this addresses multiple warnings reported when building with
Clang-15 and -Wzero-length-array.
Lastly, this will also help memcpy (in a coming hardening update) execute
proper bounds-checking on variable length object i_symlink at
fs/ocfs2/namei.c:1973:
fs/ocfs2/namei.c:
1973 memcpy((char *) fe->id2.i_symlink, symname, l);

ll_rw_block() is not safe for the sync read path because it cannot

After commit 0737e01de9c4 ("ocfs2: ocfs2_mount_volume does cleanup job
before return error"), any procedure after ocfs2_dlm_init() fails will
trigger crash when calling ocfs2_dlm_shutdown().
ie: On local mount mode, no dlm resource is initialized. If
ocfs2_mount_volume() fails in ocfs2_find_slot(), error handling will call
ocfs2_dlm_shutdown(), then does dlm resource cleanup job, which will
trigger kernel crash.
This solution should bypass uninitialized resources in
ocfs2_dlm_shutdown().

filldir_t instances (directory iterators callbacks) used to return 0 for
"OK, keep going" or -E... for "stop". Note that it's *NOT* how the
error values are reported - the rules for those are callback-dependent
and ->iterate{,_shared}() instances only care about zero vs. non-zero
(look at emit_dir() and friends).
So let's just return bool ("should we keep going?") - it's less confusing
that way. The choice between "true means keep going" and "true means
stop" is bikesheddable; we have two groups of callbacks -
do something for everything in directory, until we run into problem
and
find an entry in directory and do something to it.
The former tended to use 0/-E... conventions - -E<something> on failure.
The latter tended to use 0/1, 1 being "stop, we are done".
The callers treated anything non-zero as "stop", ignoring which
non-zero value did they get.
"true means stop" would be more natural for the second group; "true
means keep going" - for the first one. I tried both variants and
the things like
if allocation failed
something = -ENOMEM;
return true;
just looked unnatural and asking for trouble.
